Abstract
High tap density electrodes play a vital role in developing rechargeable batteries with high volumetric capacities, however, developing advanced electrodes with satisfied capacity, excellent structural stability, and achieving the resulted batteries with a high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and good rate capability with long lifespan simultaneously, are still an intractable challenge. Herein, an ultrahigh ICE of 94.1% and stable cycling of carbon-free iron selenides anode is enabled with a high tap density of 2.57 g cm-3 up to 4000 cycles at 5 A g-1 through strain-modulating by constructing a homologous heterostructure. Systematical characterization and theoretical calculation show that the self-adaptive homologous heterointerface alleviates the stress of the iron selenide anodes during cycling processes and subsequently improves the stability of the assembled batteries. Additionally, the well-formed homologous heterostructure also contributes to the rapid Na+ diffusion kinetic, increased charge transfer, and good reversibility of the transformation reactions, endowing the appealing rate capability of carbon-free iron selenides. The proposed design strategy provides new insight and inspiration to aid in the ongoing quest for advanced electrode materials with high tap densities and excellent stability.

Abstract
Inorganic metal sulfides have received extensive investigation as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, applications of crystalline organic hybrid metal sulfides as anode materials in LIBs are quite rare. In addition, combining the nanoparticles of crystalline organic hybrid metal sulfides with conductive materials is expected to enhance the electrochemical lithium storage performance. Nevertheless, due to the difficulty of harvesting the nanoparticles of crystalline organic hybrid metal sulfides, this approach has never been tried to date. Herein, nanoparticles of a crystalline organic hybrid cadmium antimony sulfide (1,4-DABH2)Cd2Sb2S6 (DCAS) were prepared by a top-down method, including the procedures of solvothermal synthesis, ball milling, and ultrasonic pulverization. Thereafter, the nanoparticles of DCAS with sizes of ∼500 nm were intercalated into graphene oxide nanosheets through a freeze-drying treatment and a DCAS@GO composite was obtained. Compared with the reported Sb2S3- and CdS-based composites, the DCAS@GO composite exhibited superior electrochemical Li+ ion storage performance, including a high capacity of 1075.6 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and exceptional rate tolerances (646.8 mAh g-1 at 5000 mA g-1). In addition, DCAS@GO can provide a high capacity of 705.6 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 1000 mA g-1. Our research offers a viable approach for preparing the nanoparticles of crystalline organic hybrid metal sulfides and proves that intercalating organic hybrid metal sulfide nanoparticles into GO nanosheets can efficiently boost the electrochemical Li+ ion storage performance.

Abstract
To improve ion transport kinetics and electronic conductivity between the different phases in sodium/lithium-ion battery (LIB/SIB) anodes, heterointerface engineering is considered as a promising strategy due to the strong built-in electric field. However, the lattice mismatch and defects in the interphase structure can lead to large grain boundary resistance, reducing the ion transport kinetics and electronic conductivity. Herein, monometallic selenide Fe3Se4-Fe7Se8 semi-coherent heterointerface embedded in 3D connected Nitrogen-doped carbon yolk-shell matrix (Fe3Se4-Fe7Se8@NC) is obtained via an in situ phase transition process. Such semi-coherent heterointerface between Fe3Se4 and Fe7Se8 shows the matched interfacial lattice and strong built-in electric field, resulting in the low interface impedance and fast reaction kinetics. Moreover, the yolk-shell structure is designed to confine all monometallic selenide Fe3Se4-Fe7Se8 semi-coherent heterointerface nanoparticles, improving the structural stability and inhibiting the volume expansion effect. In particular, the 3D carbon bridge between multi-yolks shell structure improves the electronic conductivity and shortens the ion transport path. Therefore, the efficient reversible pseudocapacitance and electrochemical conversion reaction are enabled by the Fe3Se4-Fe7Se8@NC, leading to the high specific capacity of 439 mAh g-1 for SIB and 1010 mAh g-1 for LIB. This work provides a new strategy for constructing heterointerface of the anode for secondary batteries.

Stress Dissipation Driven by Multi-Interface Built-In Electric Fields and Desert-Rose-Like Structure for Ultrafast and Superior Long-Term Sodium Ion Storage. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202318000.

Abstract
The kinetics and durability of conversion-based anodes greatly depend on the intrinsic stress regulating ability of the electrode materials, which has been significantly neglected. Herein, a stress dissipation strategy driven by multi-interface built-in electric fields (BEFs) and architected structure, is innovatively proposed to design ultrafast and long-term sodium ion storage anodes. Binary Mo/Fe sulfide heterostructured nanorods with multi-interface BEFs and staggered cantilever configuration are fabricated to prove our concept. Multi-physics simulations and experimental results confirm that the inner stress in multiple directions can be dissipated by the multi-interface BEFs at the micro-scale, and by the staggered cantilever structure at the macro-scale, respectively. As a result, our designed heterostructured nanorods anode exhibits superb rate capability (332.8 mAh g-1 at 10.0 A g-1 ) and durable cyclic stability over 900 cycles at 5.0 A g-1 , outperforming other metal chalcogenides. This proposed stress dissipation strategy offers a new insight for developing stable structures for conversion-based anodes.

Abstract
Owing to the desirable nano-morphology, controllable structure, and ease of preparation, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used as the precursors for electrodes in Na-ion battery (NIB). However, MOF structures are prone to fracture and collapse during the reactions. Additionally, MOF-derived electrodes often exhibit a high expansion rate, which negatively impacts the long cyclic capability of NIBs. Herein, we employed a stable covalent-organic framework (COF) as a protective coating for the first time to preserve the MOF structure. A shuttle-like iron selenide (Fe3Se4) coated with N-doped carbon (NC) was synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method, surface coating, and subsequent selenizing process. Due to its large specific surface area and well-developed porosity, the double-framework derived Fe3Se4/NC electrode provides abundant active sites for Na+ storage. The COF and COF-derived NC protect the structure of Fe3Se4/NC during synthesis and cyclic process, respectively. The high conductivity of the NC coating enhances the electron/ion conductivity of Fe3Se4/NC, thereby beneficial the rate performance. As the material anode for NIB, the Fe3Se4/NC electrode exhibits a high initial charging/discharging capacity (425.7/478.4 mAh·g-1 with an initial Coulombic efficiency of 89.0 %), excellent rate performance (333.5 mAh·g-1 at 12 A·g-1), long-durable cycle capability (290.8 mAh·g-1 after 1000 cycles at 8 A·g-1) and fast charging ability (143 s). This work provides a novel strategy of "COF on MOF" to prepare high-performance electrode materials for NIB.
